Book Review: One More Step

Title: One More Step

Subtitle: Finding Strength When You Feel Like Giving Up

Author: Rachel Wojo

Genre: Christian Living/ Women's Interest

Author, Rachel Wojo experienced her share of difficulty. She found herself a divorced, single mom of severely disabled child. Writing from first hand experience, Rachel shares how to replace your feelings of despair with scripture.

Rachel reminds us that God would rather hear about our bad day rather than not hear from us at all. One of the themes throughout her books is that "Prayer trumps panic every time."

I found it helpful that the book was divided into separate sections:

A quote before each chapter

The body of each chapter

Pillars of Truth to Lean On (These are Bible verses that Rachel used to make it "one more step.")

Stepping Stones (This is a section that helps you get started journaling.)

Discussion Questions to Facillitate a 4 Week Small Group Study

Thoughts to Keep You Going for each Chapter

Hymns to Accompany each Chapter

By breaking the book into these separate sections, it made the book easier to navigate. I also found that when I wanted to look back and find something encouraging, it was easy to find what I was looking for in the book.

I highly recommend this book to all women, especially moms. The author is able to relate to moms with a variety of concerns in their lives. If you know a mom with a disabled child, then this book would be a tremendous encouragement for them. Rachel's daughter suffers from a debilitating condition and she candidly shares her struggles.
